"On My Own" could be a good read for someone who has experienced the loss of a spouse or loved one and is struggling to find their way forward. This book offers a deeply personal and moving account of how the author coped with the loss of her husband, including the practical and emotional struggles she faced. The author's focus is on her own experiences, but she also includes stories from other recently widowed friends, which can help the reader understand the range of reactions to such a loss. The book is particularly impactful for its coverage of the "right to die" movement, as the author's husband chose to stop taking food, water and medication during his long-drawn illness, sparking a poignant discussion about the right to death. Overall, the book is practical, inspiring, and a beacon of hope about the possibilities that remain to us, even as we deal with our own approaching mortality.
